  ANGEL, JOSEPH R., was born in Philadelphia, Pa., on June 5, 1830, and 
died in the village of Maine, Broome County, N.Y., after a short 
sickness, of heart failure, on February 11, 1898.
  He was converted in 1852, and the following year was given exhorter's 
license by Rev. C. V. Arnold.  His zeal was owned of God in the 
salvation of souls.
  His business, or trade, was that of an engineer.  During the war he 
was with the construction corps for some time.
  After having served South Canaan charge two years as supply, he was 
admitted to Wyoming Conference in 1871.
  On May 10, 1859, he married Miss Mary H. Stone, of Sterling, Wayne 
County, Pa.  She, with one daughter, Mrs. Nellie Russell, survives him.  
His body was laid away in Windham, Pa.
  On some of his charges extensive revivals were experienced.  It was 
claimed that he invariably left churches and parsonages in better shape 
than he found them.
  His pastoral record is as follows:  1871, Herrick Center; 1872-74, 
Damascus; 1875-76, Windham; 1877-79, Le Raysville; 1880-82, Camptown; 
1883-85, Meshoppen; 1886-88, Newton; 1889-90, Lackawanna; 1891-92,
